Cool news Perderabo!
However, I have a cheaper solution. Try
www.atomictime.com. They sell radio receiving clocks and watches that sync with the government atomic clocks - the same ones astronomical observatories and government labs use. I got one and it is sweet, you never have to set it, just put in a new battery when the old one runs low and watch it sync itself back up. I think you can get them at stores like Target now too, but online there are lots more styles and price ranges available.
Kinda like NTP for your house or wrist instead of your computer.

nwfstime
NWFSTIME(1) nwfstime NWFSTIME(1)
NAME
nwfstime - Display / Set a NetWare server's date and time
SYNOPSIS
nwfstime [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -s ]
DESCRIPTION
nwfstime displays a NetWare server's date and time. You can also set a NetWare server's date and time from the local time.
OPTIONS
-h
With -h nwfstime prints a little help text.
-S server
is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login. To set the server's time, you need supervisor privileges.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwfstime
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login. As you need supervisor privileges for setting the date and time, this
option is probably not used very often.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-s
With -s, nwfstime sets the file server's date and time according to the local date and time.
